Bottle from Delhaize. Golden honey body with lots of head. Nose is quite malty and spicy. Flavour is caramel, malts and sweet. Texture is syrupy and nice. Good one.

Bottle from Utobeer. Pale golden with a sizeable head, but a lot of sediment floating around. Good fruity and spicy aroma. Some herbal bitterness, otherwise quite fruity. Not bad.

Bottle from a local supermarket in the Belgian Ardennes. Pours dark orange/light red with a good white head. A lot of yeast floating in the glass. Nice aroma with Belgian Ale hints. Good taste with spicey notes. Gets better along the way. Nice brew!

At l’Autre Oeil. Pours pale gold, good carbonation. Forms quite a thick whitehead, remains through. Aroma is mainly malty, some citrus in the way. Slightly spicy as well, can’t tell which. Quite "sparkling" in the mouth : otherwise, "lead" taste is banana and honey are leading the way... Chamomilla in that one (?!). That was on the menu, and made sense. Just never expected to actually taste that. Medium-body, at the very most. Finish is much bitter than everything that came before. Zero acidity. Feels oily, and then quite sticky. Pretty sweet. Pretty good one, but mainly summer stuff.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy yellow coloured ale with some sweet taste, pretty safe brew for an football club. Why not to try some Vienna malts that will gives the beer and red colour.

Bottled (from Belgian Shop). Hazy pale ambery golden colour with mediumsized off-white fluffy head that leaves some lace. Aroma is caramel malts, some spices, burnt sugar as well as some slight yeasty notes as well. Flavour is sweet malts along with some slight spices and yeasty notes as well.
